Surface-electrode point Paul trap
Abstract
We present a model as well as experimental results for a surface electrode radiofrequency
Paul trap that has a circular electrode geometry well suited for trapping single ions
and two-dimensional planar ion crystals. The trap design is compatible with microfabrication
and offers a simple method by which the height of the trapped ions above the surface
may be changed in situ. We demonstrate trapping of single Sr88+ ions over an ion height
range of 200-1000 μm for several hours under Doppler laser cooling and use these to
characterize the trap, finding good agreement with our model. © 2010 The American
